Cautions During Printing

"instax WIDE" Film and Print Care

See FUJIFILM Instant Film "instax WIDE" for film use instructions.
Follow all instructions for safe and proper use.

1. Keep the film in a cool place. Do not leave the film in a place where the temperature is extremely high (e.g., in a closed car) for many hours.
2. Do not puncture, tear, or cut the "instax WIDE" film. If film becomes damaged, do not use.
3. When you load a film pack, use the film as soon as possible.
4. If the film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low, bring it to room temperature before starting to print pictures.
5. Be sure to use the film before the expiration or "Use Before" date.
6. Avoid airport checked luggage scanning and other strong X-ray exposure. The effect of fogging, etc. may appear on unused film. We recommend that you carry the printer and/or the film onto the aircraft as carry-on luggage. (Check with each airport for more information.)
7. Avoid strong light, and keep the developed prints in a cool and dry place.
8. Do not puncture or cut the film as it contains a small amount of caustic paste (high alkaline). Never let children or animals put the film into their mouth. Also ensure that the paste does not come into contact with skin or clothes.
9. Should the paste inside the film comes into contact with skin or clothes, immediately wash off with plenty of water. If the paste comes into contact with the eyes or mouth, immediately wash the area with plenty of water and contact a doctor. Note that the alkaline inside the film remains active for about 10 minutes after the picture has been printed.
